Counting the Days

Last week was a busy week at Golden Gate University’s San Francisco campus. On July 21st, we had Office of Career Planning’s influential Internship Success Panel where Golden Gate University alumni with different areas of expertise talked about their experiences and challenges they faced after graduating from the university.

The students who attended to the event were able to get to know each other as well as the panelists who gave their speeches during the event over refreshments.

You can watch the recorded broadcast of the panel by simply clicking here.

The following day, we had the very first table tennis tournament to be held at Golden Gate University, organized and hosted by GGU Sports Club.

The tournament was conducted in the following three categories: Men’s Singles, Women’s Singles and Mixed Doubles. GGU Sports Club was happy with the amount of participation and they reported that they will be planning another sports tournament very soon! You can find the list of winners with their respective categories below. Congratulations, guys!

With the help of our Student Disability Ambassador, Kevin Smith, some of our Ageno Business School students got the chance of participating in Turner Construction’s Transbay Project Tour of the new TransBay Terminal on July 26th.

Before we move on to the events that we suggest you to keep an eye on, we would like to tell you something that you might not know about the place you visit the most during the last couple of weeks of the term. You know it, it’s the library!

Golden Gate University’s Business Library have recently updated their displays with a Japanese popular entertainment collection that consists of anime, manga, video & graphic novels. Go grab one today! And yes, they are for free.

Check out the detailed breakdown of Business Library’s brand new displays here.

Events to keep an eye on

The following two weeks are going to be more fun than any other at Golden Gate University. Why, you ask? Well, it all starts tomorrow with our Psychology Association’s Summer Bash that will take place on the 6th floor starting at 6:00 PM. Come and grab a slice of pizza with us and join the conversation!

*Please note that the location of the event was recently changed from Room 5200 to Room 6210.

Remember the volunteering event we mentioned in our earlier posts? According to the last update we received from our friends at SGA, they still have some spots left for you sign up. Click here to fill out the registration form if you’re interested.

Friendly tip for our readers: You can bring up to two guest volunteers with you.

On August 4th, right before our party kicks off, the Office of Career Planning will host their monthly Career Meetup eventwith guest professionals from Associate for Talent Development and Robert Half. This month’s Career Meetup is focused on Human Resources and Industrial-Organizational fields.

Last but not least, we are less than two weeks away from our very first official hangout! From faculty staff to students, our baristas at GGU Cafe to the officers of student clubs, we are expecting to have a good crowd attending to our colorful Summer Party, and we would love to see all of our readers there.

And don’t forget, this will be your chance to get a head start in the month-long competition we are going to announce exclusively during this event!
